Part 2. Read the passage below, which contains 8 mistakes. Identify the mistakes and correct them.
In Monsanto's research centre, there are 1500 PhDs, one of the biggest concentration s of scientific brain power in
the commercial world. It was here 20 years ago that they did some of the first experiments to genetically modify
plants. This is what it's all about - genes, DNA, the blueprint of life. Inside every cell of every living thing there is DNA
what is made up of thousands of genes.

Genes produce proteins that have specific functions and it's this(these) proteins that give every plant and animal
its unique characteristics. Scientists can manipulate the genetic code of life to produce plants with new characteristics
never seen in nature. They can isolate any one gene from any organism like an animal or bacterium and insert it into
a completely unrelated species like a plant.

That gene then becomes part of the genetic instructions that make these tiny plants grow. It will give them the
same unique characteristic as the original species. The possibilities are almost endless. Scientists can insert a gene
from a bacterium into a grape to make it resistant to viruses, or they can engineer maize that resists drought, or
potatoes that resist pests, so farmers can use more(less) pesticides on their crops. But these are all plants unknown
in nature. They have a foreign gene inside them. People are sharply divided on whether this can be safe.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
. But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other
species are concerned. Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such
sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine
visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina. And in water, humans
are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the air and water because it is
endowed with two foveae – areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions. One foveae
permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once
it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the
same time. A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as “ bug
detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes responds mainly to moving objects. So, it is said that a frog
sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and would starve.
The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a
pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of
reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in
relation to the sun. A bee’s eye also gauges flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision”
paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light. Thus, what humans
consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species. However, there is still much to
be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color
vision.
Question 31. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. limits of the human eye B. perfect vision

B. human eyes are not as well suited to our needs
C. the main outstanding feature of human eyes is color vision

WINGED WINNERS AND LOSERS
Birds in Britain come under scrutiny in a massive new study, Birds Britannica. A record of the avian community in the
21st century, it reveals a continually evolving pattern. Mark Cocker, the principal author of the tome, selects some
cases.
A Red Kite
The red kite’s recent rise from a mere handful to several thousands is among the great stories of modern
conservation. Testimony to its flagship status is a recent Royal Society for the Protection of Birds poll which ranked it
with the golden eagle and song thrush in the nation’s list of favourite birds. The dramatic spread has hinged on a
reintroduction scheme at six sites in England and Scotland using kites originally taken from Spain and Sweden. The
English releases began in the Chilterns in 1989 and when these had achieved a healthy population, subsequent
introductions were made in Northamptonshire and Yorkshire using mainly English birds. The Scottish releases in the
1980s and 1990s have resulted in populations totaling more than 50 pairs. Altogether there are now about 3,000 kites
in Britain
B Dartford Warbler

Tel: 0974258596
European countries as well as the north African littoral have the smallest world range of any of our breeding birds. It is
also a highly sedentary bird and a major cause of decline is its great susceptibility to the cold. The worst case occurred
in the two successive hard winters of 1961 and 1962 when the numbers fell from 450 pairs to just 10. Memories of
this calamitous decrease, coupled with the bird’s own tiny size and seeming delicacy, have cemented our sense of an
overarching vulnerability. It is one of the best British examples where a species’ local rarity has been assumed to equal
almost constitutional weakness. All the caution is perfectly understandable as an expression of our protective instincts
towards a much-loved bird. Yet it sits oddly with the warbler’s continuing rise and expansion to a population of 1,925
pairs by the year 2000. It has undoubtedly been helped by mild winters as well as the intensive management and
protection of England’s lowland heath. Yet the Dartford Warbler’s recent history illustrates how easy it is to
underestimate the resilience(khả năng phục hồi) of a small rare bird.
C White-tailed Eagle
It is difficult to judge which is the more exciting conservation achievement – the reintroduction of this magnificent bird
or of red kites. By wingspan and weight, this is the largest eagle in Europe and one of the biggest of all birds in
Britain. However, if the species itself is on a grand scale, the size of the reintroduced population is tiny and the pace of
increase agonizingly slow. The project involved a remarkable team effort by various UK environmental groups, as well
as the Norwegian conservationists who organized the capture of the donated birds. Between 1975 and 1985, they
released 82 eagles (39 males and 43 females) from a special holding area on the Inner Hebridean island of Rhum.
Eight were later recovered dead, but in 1983 came the first breeding attempt.
Two years later, a pair of white-tailed eagles produced the first British-born chick in 69 years and every subsequent
breeding season has seen a small incremental improvement. There is now an established breeding nucleus spread
between the islands of Skye and Mull as well as the adjacent mainland, and their recent history suggests that the
white-tailed eagle’s increase will continue throughout north-west Scotland.
D Spotted Flycatcher
Even the greatest fans of this lovely bird, with its mouse-grey upper parts and whitish breast and belly, would have to
admit that it is rather drab. They have no more than a thin, squeaky, small song. However, spotted flycatchers
compensate with enormous character.
They are adept at catching large species such as day-flying moths, butterflies, bees and wasps, whose stings they
remove by thrashing the victim against the perch. Their specialized diet means that they are among the latest spring
migrants to return and are now in serious decline because of half a century of pesticide use. In the past 25 years, their
numbers have declined by almost 80 per cent, but they are still sufficiently numerous (155,000 pairs) to be familiar
and are often birds of large gardens, churchyards or around farm buildings.
Part 5. Read the following passage and answer the questions from 51 to 60.
IS THERE A PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE BUILDING?
— CHRISTIAN JARRETT reports on psychology’s place in new architectural development. —
A. The space around us affects us profoundly – emotionally, behaviorally, cognitively. In Britain, that space is
changing at a pace not seen for a generation. Surely psychology has something to say about all this change. But is
anyone listening? ‘There is a hugely recognised psychology research that is relevant but at the moment we’re talking
to ourselves,’ says Chris Spencer, professor of environmental psychology at the University of Sheffield. Spencer recalls
a recent talk he gave in which he called on fellow researchers to make a greater effort to communicate their findings
to architects and planners. ‘I was amazed at the response of many of the senior researchers, who would say: “I’m
doing my research for pure science, the industry can take it or leave it”. But there are models of how to apply
environmental psychology to real problems, if you know where to look. Professor Frances Kuo is an example.
B. Kuo’s website provides pictures and plain English summaries of research conducted by her Human Environment
Research Laboratory. Among these is a study using police records that found inner-city Chicago apartment buildings
surrounded by more vegetation suffered 52 percent fewer crimes than apartment blocks with little or no greenery.
Frances Kuo and her co-researcher William Sullivan believe that greenery reduces crime – so long as visibility is
preserved – because it reduces aggression, brings local residents together outdoors, and the conspicuous presence of
people deters criminals.
C. ‘Environmental psychologists are increasingly in demand,’ says David Uzzell, professor of environmental psychology.
‘We’re asked to contribute to the planning, design and management of many different environments, ranging from
neighbourhoods, offices, schools, health, transport, traffic and leisure environments for the purpose of improving
quality of life and creating a better people-environment fit.’ Uzzell points to the rebuilding of one south London school
11DT_HSGTinh_CompiledByTrangNhung_HighSchoolforGiftedStude
nts_VinhUni
Tel: 0974258596
as a striking example of how building design can affect human behavior positively. Before its redesign, it was ranked
as the worst school in the area – now it is recognised as one of the country’s twenty most improved schools.
D. Uzzell has been involved in a pioneering project between students on the MSc in England and Scotland.
Architecture students in Scotland acted as designers while environmental psychology students in England acted as
consultants, as together they worked on a community project in a run-down area of Glasgow. The psychology
students encouraged the architecture students to think about who their client group was, to consider issues of
crowding and social cohesion, and they introduced them to psychological methodologies, for example, observation and
interviewing local residents about their needs.’ The collaborative project currently stands as a one-off experiment. “It
certainly got psychology involved in the design process,” says Uzzell. ‘Hopefully, these trainee architects will now go
away with some understanding of the psychological issues involved in the design and will take into account people’s
needs.”
E. Hilary Barker, a recent graduate in psychology, now works for a design consultancy. She’s part of a four-person
research team that contributes to the overall work of the company in helping clients use their office space more
productively. Her team all have backgrounds in psychology or social science, but the rest of the firm consists mainly of
architects and interior designers. ‘What I do is pretty rare, to be honest,’ Barker says. ‘I feel very privileged to be able
to use my degree in such a way.’ Barker explains that the team carries out observational studies on behalf of
companies, to identify exactly how occupants are using their building. The clients are often surprised by the findings,
for example, that staff use meeting rooms for quiet, individual work.
F. One area where the findings from the environment-behaviour research have certainly influenced building is in
hospital design. The government has a checklist of criteria that must be met in the design of new hospitals, and these
are derived largely from the work of the behavioural scientist Professor Roger Ulrich,’ Chris Spencer says. Ulrich’s work
has shown, for example, how the view from a patient’s window can affect their recovery. Even a hospital’s layout can
impact on people’s health, according to Dr John Zeisel. ‘If people get lost in hospitals, they get stressed, which lowers
their immune system and means their medication works less well. You might think that way-finding around the
hospital is the responsibility of the person who puts all the signs up, but the truth is that the basic layout of a building
is what helps people find their way around,’ he says.
G. Zeisel also points to the need for a better balance between private and shared rooms in hospitals. ‘Falls are reduced
and fewer medication errors occur’ in private rooms, he says. There’s also research showing how important it is that
patients have access to the outdoors and that gardens in hospitals are a major contributor to well-being. However,
more generally, Zeisel shares Chris Spencer’s concerns that the lessons from environmental psychology research are
not getting through. ’There is certainly a gap between what we in social science know and the world of designers and
architects,’ says Zeisel. He believes that most industries, from sports to film-making, have now recognised the
importance of an evidence-based approach and that the building trade needs to formulate itself more in that vein and
to recognise that there is relevant research out there. ‘It would be outrageous, silly, to go ahead with huge building
projects without learning the lessons from the new towns established between 30 and 40 years ago,’ he warns.

______ THE END ______

PART 2:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a head of the environmental protecting organization committee in Windor High School. I am writing to inform you
about our coming propaganda plans.

Hardly any issue in recent years has drawn as much attention as the debate surrounding the plastic waste pollution so
our organization decided to create a campaign to collect recyclable waste such as paper, glass, bottles, etc.
Specifically, we want to run a project of giving trees for participants when they give paper, bottles to our organization.
As the result, people who join will not only eliminate waste in home but also have presents to take home. I have a
strong belief that our project will brings a large number of benefit to local dwellers and make a great contribution to
the protection to the global environment.

Because of the lack of the influence of the media, the coverage of plans is still limited, so we would like to ask for your
